The situation: In November, 2023, I had my A/C unit fail and it had to be ripped out of my 950 sq ft. place. They had the front door open for 7 hours to the pouring rain whilst they removed the 20 yr old air handler, and stirred up dust, mold, and god knows what else. Immediately thereafter...

My 14-year-old CKD Maine Coon mix is the epitome of picky, to the point of hunger strikes because he's still mourning the loss of dry food from his two-week Diabetes Type II adventure a few years back. Now it's wet food, low phosphorous kidney food mixed with some Blue Wilderness Adult Chicken...

So here's the story: Romeo (profile pic) is a 14 year old Maine Coon Mix with type II diabetes in remission (with wet food only diet), stage 2 CKD and holding that level for almost 3 years. He takes mirtazapine when he gets finicky about food since he is a dry food addict. He went from 19lbs to...

Hello, I posted a few months ago about my senior boy "Squeaky" who lost a HUGE chunk of hair on the back/side of his neck from Tevra Pet Acti-Spot while is touted as a generic for Advantage II with the same active ingredients in the same %. The hair had not begun to grow back and the vet said...

I'm so upset... I read that Tevrapet Actispot was a generic for Advantage II and at half the price, so I read up on the product, compared ingredients, read the insert literature for any harmful side effects, and read all the reviews on Amazon and the company website. I didn't see anything to...

OK so my senior cat has allergies and asthma. He is on Depo every 6 weeks for that so he is not really itching. He is flea treated. He is on a hypoallergenic diet. He's not actually itching. He had a full mouth extraction in January due to severe stomatitis and recovered well from that but...

Hello everyone, I'm blessed with TWO cats with allergies. Cat #1 (Squeaky) has severe environmental and food allergies, and asthma. Cat #2 (Romeo) has allergic sinusitis and frequent IRUs...along with other issues. Squeaky is on Depo-Medrol every 6 weeks. He is 16 years old with no CKD or...

So Mr. Squeaky (100% feral up until 3 years ago) got 18 teeth pulled yesterday. Everything except 3 of his 4 canines. His teeth were bad when I rescued him, but he had allergic dermatitis, an inner ear infection a decade in the making, whipworms, severe diarrhea, and asthma. I had to get him...

Hi! So I have a former feral (3 years indoors now...estimated to be 16-18 years old) and after treating all his parasites and other issues, it's clear he has numerous environmental and food allergies as well as asthma. I've been giving him the Aerokat inhaler with albuterol as needed, and we...

So anyone who may remember the Bingo barn cat debacle with the asthmatic episode (from paint fumes) followed by an emergency stay at the vet overnight on O2 and then a urinary tract blockage from the stress of being in a carrier/car/vet for the first time.... Here's Part II Bingo...sick as of...

Oh my goodness what a day....I don't know who else would want to hear it so I'm posting it here with all the feral cat folks... I care for 7 feral and formerly-feral kitties at the horse farm where I keep my horse. Two are re-homed ferals that catch mice and come for feedings but are not social...

Hello feral kitty angels out there... I am missing a friend, and I'm afraid he may be gone forever. I feed a small colony of ferals at the horse farm where I keep my horse. The original two cats were "re-homed ferals" to become mousers at the barn. They were (Orange) "Julius" and "Tidbit" a big...

Hi there! I have a good news story for everyone...in a world where there are too many sad kitty stories, I try to help whenever I can. So I moved into my house 6 years ago as a renter, then ended up buying the house 4 years ago. Before I rented, there were several other renters also. The house...

There are so few happy stories out there it seems sometimes for our furry feral and semi feral friends...I feed and care for 8 ferals and semi-ferals at the horse farm where I board my horse, and I am out there daily with them. When I can't be there (rare!) I pay someone to put out food and...

Hello all, I am the caretaker of a healthy feral colony at the horse farm where I keep my horse. The original 2 ferals (Julius and Tidbit) were placed by the Humane Society as barn cat transplants and they have done well. Three kittens around 8 weeks old were abandoned there (spayed and...
